>battery life
Literally who gives a fuck? Nigger just plug in the charger

Apple didn't kill shit, OpenGL nailed the final one to the coffin of applel graphics development.
Henry Bennett
I don’t think you understand what “portable” means.
Julian Evans
OpenGL is deprecated in favor of Vulkan, though.
Jayden Cox
OpenGL still works in Mojave faggot
Ryder Thomas
"improved", aka. smaller batteries and same runtime
Need more battery runtime asap
James Bell
It means you can carry a charger.
Jace Sullivan
>OpenGL is deprecated
no it's not.
replaced != deprecated.
Parker Robinson
they killed opengl and cock-blocked vulkan to make room for another proprietary API.
opengl has nothing to do with battery life.

link?

Top kek imagine being a consumer of a company that works actively against you

They killed it for the same reason they killed flash.
Bloated, inefficient as a mobile graphics API and causes app devs to be in lockstep with OpenGL.
Liam Campbell
Name a single better graphics API
Logan Walker
They're using the Metal API.A

In Mobile? Vulkan and Metal
In Desktop? Vulkan
OpenGL only has it's massive compatibility and versatility going for it due to decades of maturity. Still has massive overhead which for lowered mobile devices kills your performance and battery.

No it doesn't.
openGL is just fine, but for the mobile platform they took a subset of function calls from the opengl api and named it opengl ES.
Vulkan doesn't do anything magical, it just exposes the h/w more.
If you are incompetent, you would end up writing code that does the same as in opengl/opengl es, and consumes more.
vulkan's features shine on scenes that rely on rendering gorillion of triangle and mess with shaders a lot. In mobile gaymes, your triangles are reduced to the absolute necessary, so most of the additional overhead due to opengl is minuscule .
